SCH lacks a single target mitigation ability

SCH main here. I think recitation should make Adlo an instant cast. When a tankbuster shows up I barely have enough time to put a shield on the tank without wasting a swiftcast. The other healers get an instant shield even the non-shield healers get one. Having it tied to another ability would make it different enough from the other healers. Using protraction > recitation > swiftcast > adlo > deployment tactics all for one spell is kind of ridiculous even for an OP super party shield. If recitation made adlo instant that would at least take away the need to use swiftcast to keep up dps or dodge an aoe or keeping up with the tank while doing a big pull.

Why would you even waste Recitation for an Adlo on the tank when you could just use it on Excogitation?

Multiple reasons, savage tankbusters can be a lot less risky with critlo, you can deploy that critlo before the tank gets hit for a subsequent raidwide, for some mechanics taking zero damage can nullify the subsequent DOT, if you have other healing buffs like natures minne or krasis a critlo can absorb more HP than critcog restores etc

The only downside is adlo needs a GCD

Point taken, although I don't think you can avoid a DOT with critlo in content where that DOT is actually dangerous.

We're probably also not talking about savage mechanics in this case as they mention big pulls at the end of the post.
